29-03-2018 Wheels Back
Collected my wheels today from the powdercoaters, happy enough with them it's a decent job for the price and should last a while.
I ummed and ahhhhhd for a while about what to go for, flat silver or metallic sparkle. ....flat would of been more oe but couldn't resist a...
anyone ever tried the micro ones?

love to see if in a point just at windscreen type situation this would do the trick as it weighs next to nothing
although I hate when Ross keeps digging up old threads and pics of the car like this, I think he's more angry at the situation than me, flol!
does make me miss it, such a great and pretty car in its heyday
just s**t and s**t mate, started to use the car for trackdays rather than just posing and santa pod. with the open diff and more road orientated suspension setup it wasn't perfoming great and I had loads of issues with overheating etc with the turbo lump. was looking at big bucks to put it right...
great stuff @Digger90 glad you made the purchase in the end!
really hoping to see it out and about at some point, we'll have to align track calendars at some point later in the year when mines back up and sorted :)
I couldn't sell it mate, if I did and saw someone else in it i'd be distraught! its part of me now had it that long, lol
Rot would already of been there, fear not I have the panels to repair it so it will rise again, one day!
the cheap argument doesn't hold up tbh, could easily buy some pre loved 15" with used yoko ad08's on them for less than replacing the Pirellis
if the point is to specifically maintain the use of a road tyre then its a nothing of nothing choice, they will all be pretty useless and let go easily...
Coming from mk1's the mk2's are so so much better, mk1 valver were rotting at 8 years old or less, my first one was 11 and completely fubar when I got it despite being welded up once already .
